Hello so I recently changed my domain name and now I cannot access my site, the site loads fine but I was told I have to check with my developer to replace all the old domain name to new domain in the script, how do I do that? Please help!

You just need to change it in the config.php file here: define('OW_URL_HOME', 'http://www.yournewdomain.com/'); //new site URL

Thank you so much! How do I go to the config.php file? sorry I am new. I use arvixe by the way. Do I go to cpanel or what?

-You go to C-Panel.
-Select File Manager. You'll have to learn how to use it, but it's similar to My Computer.
-Navigate to your Oxwall directory
-Open the ow_Includes directory (double click the folder.)
-Double Click config.php. You may need to highlight it and click the Edit button in File manager.
-Alter the first line to read your new URL
-Save the file
-Test before closing File manager.

I did that but it still won't let me access the admin panel, I had put the site under maintenance and before I changed my domain I could access it through admin link but now I can't
